Every year, Deloitte publishes a list of the 250 largest retail chains in the world. In 2016, Walmart remained number one, Aldi and Carrefour drop a few places, and for the first time, Amazon is in the top 10. Consultancy bureau Deloitte has been publishing the ‘Global Powers of Retailing’-report for the past 20 years. This report is based on the financial figures of 2015.

Ahold and Delhaize are still noted separately in the list of Deloitte. Ahold is on spot 23 and Delhaize on 34, if combined then Ahold Delhaize would end on the 13th spot.
